| Abstract | "There are more than 6 billion animals used in the United States, with over 95 percent of them used for food and the rest for research, teaching, labor, entertainment, and other purposes. How these animals are treated has become a deepening controversy, with rights advocates on one side, professionals who work with animals often on the other, and the general public, with varying degrees of sympathy, in the middle."--Amazon. |
